I was invited by Nicole at Sugar & Stitches to take part in a Game Night cookie fest with a wonderful and talented group of ladies. I was so excited just to be included with such an great group of cookiers!
When trying to decide which board game to do, I asked my 7-year-old daughter. She, of course, immediately said Candyland. Sure, I thought. That would be fun. Lots of colors. I can use sparkles! It will be great! So I sent my selection off to Nicole and all was well.
Until, of course, I actually took the game board out to look at it when it was time to do the cookies. LESSON LEARNED: Don’t take cookie advice from a 7-year-old.
But at the end of the day, they were (hair-pulling-out) fun, and I once again got to use sparkles! And lots of them. So how can that be bad, right?
Lolly! Juggling gumdrops. Don’t we all wish we could?
Princess Lolly. I have a crown just like this. I just wear mine on special occasions.
Queen Frostine. I think I’ve been called that a time or two in my life.
This is Mr. Mint. He suffered a tragic Royal icing transfer removal incident. It required extensive surgery.
And you gotta have the little gingerbread game piece guys. These shorts would never meet dress code at out school. Just sayin’.
Here are all of the players in our Game Night. Check out these AWESOME cookies!!

Amazing job! Makes me wanna play Candyland again :).
I love these so much when I saw them posted on FB,…….
Soooooooo I had to come to your blog and gush about them even more.
I loved Candy Land as a kid (who didn’t) I want to do a theme like this so bad!
Thanks for a starting point of inspiration!
Thank you!! =)
AMAZING job.. These are fabulous.
Soooooooooo creative!
Okay, you seriously rocked these! They are amazing! And I think you can add ‘surgeon’ to your list of talents — Mr. Mint looks perfect! Thanks for playing. It was fun :)
Thanks, Sherrene!
Me and Mr. Mint really bonded. LOL
Tara, you did an amazing job. I am adding cookie surgeon to your list of talents. If I ever need your services I may need to airlift them to you! :-) Do you take insurance?
Only if you accept royal icing as a means of closing up. That’s all I know how to work with. =)
And there will be shaking, of course. ;-)
Super AWESOME! You make my cookies look sad. I love the way they came out and I am also glad I did NOT choose this game. lol.
Thank you for including me in this!
And yes, I would not recommend Candyland as the game of choice. Ha!
Surprising to think of smeothnig like that
These are SO amazing – the detail is just incredible! Love them :)
Thank you!!
Oh my gosh Tara! These are insanely AMAZING! Wow! What a phenomenal job!
Oh my God! They look like so much work, but it was definitely worth it! I think Candy Land was an awesome idea. I love how you did the gumdrop trail!
Thanks! The gumdrops ended up being one of my favorite things. =)
I saw your tweets on these while you were decorating them and couldn’t wait to see your post. It was worth the wait. Your cookies are fabulous! So much work went into each and every one of them.
Thanks, Paula. It was crazy but fun. =)

Squeal! These are perfect! Love every single one but Lolly is my favorite. Amazing!
Thank you! Coming from you, that is a HUGE compliment! =)
Wow, amazing cookies! So much detail, these must have taken you ages…they’re so good!
Thanks! =)
Where where can I order???? Also can I ask for a personal piecaken? I saw your ad in the subway and didnt know exactly what I was looking at. But after getting onto the website my mouth began to water lol. How did you come up with that idea in the first place? Anywho let me know what’s up
I have been browsing online more than three hrs these days, however I by no means found any interesting post like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers produced great content as you did, the net will probably be a lot much more helpful than ever before.
Think about making bulk goods.
